Anyhow the above got me thinking that the contest is a little vulnerable to an out of skew payoff which could put someone out of reach and make interest wane early. It was suggested last year by someone that a $20 win payoff cap be in place to deal with that scenario. I responded that with such a long contest of 80 or so events it wasn't necessary. And it worked out.

We are in a different place this year with 20 events of which there are only ten left. Plus we are dealing in real money and I want this to be as fair as we can make it. I think it should have been in place from the beginning but no harm done so far. I may not be in the majority however.
